Old-Time Democracy.

A friend of the HERALD has copy
of the Galveston Civilian of July 2S
1857, under the editorial head of which
is the following list of Democratic
nominees:
For Governor-IIardin II. Runnels.
For Lieutenant. G overnor-Francis
II. Lubbock.
For Commissioner of the Land Of
fice-Francs NJ. White.
For Congress, Western District.
Guy NJ. Bryan.
For Congress, Eastern District
John III. Reagan.
For District Attorney-James c..
Mcdonald, of Grimes county.
For State Senator-Mark NJ. Potter.
For Representatives in rhe I.egis-
lature-John Henry Brown and Thos
NJ. Joseph.
OF these nine Democratic nominees
though thirty years have interviewed,
only Gov. Runnels and Senator Potter
are deceased. All of them were
elected. Judge Reagan is United
States senator to-day and Major
Brown lives here, as do also son each
OF Messrs. Potter and Mcdonald.
Hamilton Stuart, then co-editor of the
Civilian, with John Henry Brown, is
also living. This is a remarkable ex-
hihit. 1t is noteworthy, too, that each
of the eight survivors has remained
steadfast in the Democratic faith, as
did the two deceased gentlemen till
called away by death.

Paradise and He'll.

"An argument has lately been pre-
sented by learned divine to show that
the Garden of Eden was located not far
from Charleston, sc. As it has been
held that "the other place." which Bob
Ingersoll says does not exist, was near
Paradise, the fact that Edge6eld is not
far from Charleston is a fact in favor Of
the theory Washington Republican.
1t delights us when the Radicals and
Republicans speak of Edgefield as "hell." :"
For truly Edgefeld has been "hell" to
them and their party in South Carolina.
And we are eternally proud that it is so.
Yes, when we remember Edge6eld's
superb and indomitable grit in the days
of ZIG, we may well say she has been
"hell" to the Republican party in South
Carolina, and thereby more OF less

How ssReflned'' Lard is Made and Sold
Cheaper than the Pure.

CHICAGO, November 2S.-It is report
ed that members of the New York Pro.
duce Exchange are signing a memorial
Congress complaining about the adultera-
ton of lard, and asking that legislation
be had compelling manufacturers to
stamp and label their products in such
way that every purchaser will know what
he is buying. Inquiry made among
number of packers in this city to ascertain
if any move of similar character was on
foot in Chicago, disclosed the fact that
many are in favor of such legislation,
and would assist such movement, but
that there is no likelihood of its being
started here.
John G. Hately, of Hately Brothers,
packers and refners, said: ri certainly
should be very glad to see movement of
that kind in this city, although l do not
think that the Chicago people will take
the initiative in it. There can be no
doubt that the trade in pure lard, or that
article which is known in The trade as
prime steam lard, suffered greatly from
the adulterated article. All the packers
make pure lard, which contains nothing
but animal fat. A great deal of this is
sold to the re6ners, who use it in making
their refined lard. This refined article
is the one that all this complaint is about.
1t is sold cheaper than the pure lard is
bought by the same firms, which goes to
show that it is not pure. In making this
reGued lard the principal ingredient used
is cotton seed oil, and, perhaps beef tai
low. Mutton tallow has been found to
assimilate very poorly with the pure lard,
and is not used much. Now, cotton seed
oil is, perhaps, just as wholesome as lard,
but it is not lard. There is not very
much money in it, even after this ingred-
lent has been added, for it is pretty high
priced. It is now worth about 81 cents
pound, while pure lard sells at cents.
I should think that fully 80 per cent. OF
the lard on the market here is of this
refined kind. Ifthere were some law to
compel people to brand this lard at what
it really is, it would reduce the sales of
the stuff and make prices better. A
large quantity of it is made here, but
most of the stocks in Chicago are pure
lard, as only few packers are at the
same time refners, and the packer neces.
sarily produces pure lard"

Worth q Dozen Sermons.

There is an eight.year old girl in our
town that exemplifes more faith in her
life than is to be found on the front pews
of the church, or even amogst the D. DIS.
Last Sunday she wished to go to church,
but about the time for her to prepare,
her mother said, "You can't 60, for it is
cloudy and raining now" The little girl
said: "I'll ask God not to let it rain."
She retired and prayed to the God of
little children and directly returned to
her mother, saying II have asked God
not to let it rain, and l know he won't.
Let's 60 to church." In ashort time the
clouds rolled away, the sun shone out
and the little girl went to church. That
simple act of humble trust is worth q
dozen wise sermons on the philosophy of
faith.-Ca Carolina Spartan.

Debtors and Creditors.

The common feeling respecting debtors
and creditors is often erroneous, and, as
is common with fallacies, it affects with
double force the young and inexperienc-
ed. Debtors are represented in the Or
dinary language of large portion of
society as set of amiable, unfortunate,
and most interesting persons. Creditors,
on the other hand, are represented as
execrable wretehes, with darkness of
heart that would disgrace the execution.
er.
Tie debtor may be an amiable and
interesting person, for we often find these
characteristics united in him; but the
young must beware how they set down
debtors, as class, es purely estimable
and entitled to sympathy, while they at
the same time look upon creditors as only
ruthless prosecutors.
Creditors are not invariably rich, as
one might suppose them to be. They are
more frequently poor, industrious per-
sons, who, in losing money by their dep.
tors, are apt to be made debtors them.
selves, and thereby ruined. In fact, the
case stands generally thus:-An idle or
extrayagent person procures the means
of gratifying his bad appetites, and is
enabled to show himself off as very fine
fellow, at the expense of an honest man.,
who confines himself constantly to his
business and denies himself almost every
indulgence, in order that he may be able
to pay every one to whom he is indebted.
Now, young people will bring their ma
tural, generous feelings to bear upon this
point, they will see that the debtor, and
not the creditor, is at falt. And they may
be assured, that where creditors show a
severity TO their debtors, it is generally
either merited by the latter, or is dictated
by justiliable consideration Of danger
into which creditors are thrown by the
non payment of the money which is due
them.-Mc7O York Ledger,

Church Hospitality.

The statement of the Rev. Ur. Strong,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, that
of the 6O,oOO,0OO people in this country,
3O,OOO,OOO rarely, if ever. entera Church,
is startling and impressive one, and it
certainly behooves the religious element
of the population to devise measures for
the improvement of such a condition of
things. There are various reasons why
the general attendance at places of pub.
lie worship is not larger; and chief
among them is the want Of hospitality on
the part of Church officers and members.
The stranger cannot be expected to go
more than once where he is rscei1ed with
chilling formality and Indifference. he
has right to assume, under such cir.
cumstances, that he is not wanted, and
he cannot be blamed if his self-respect
keeps him at home when he knows that
treatment of that kind awaits him in the
sanctuary. In theory, all classes o. peo.
pie are welcome wherever the Gospel is
preached; but, in fact, most of our
Churches are governed by the same phi.
losophy of selection and exclusiveness
which prevails in society, and the stran-
ger within the gates is slighted and hu.
inflated accordingly. The right of COM
plant in such a case is valueless, because
no worthy person will consent to exercise
it; and the result is that great many
people who would be glad to so to Church
are in certain sense actually prevented
from doing so by those whose pleasure it
should be to assist and encourage them
in that respect.
We are notspeaking particularly of the
poor and addressed. The discrimination
does not pertain exclusively to such per.
sons; it includes everybody who is
unable for any reason to present social
credentials of an approved sort. The
fact is notorious that the fashionable
Church-and all Churches this day and
time are more or less fashionable-prac-
tically shuts its doors against the public
as rigidly as that same public is excluded
from private drawing rooms; and the
comforts ard blessings of religious ser.
vices are thus made to take on the aspect
of special privileges. 1t is idle to look
for increased attendance so long as this
policy stands uncorrected. If there is
any one place in the world above all
others where hospitality should be prac.
ticed as an incessant and surprising duty,
it is in the house of God; and the multi.
tude cannot be persuaded to 60 there in
the absence of that inducement. The
work of enlarging the congregations must
begin and be mainly carried on inside of
the Churches. That is where the worst
of the difficulty lies. The indifference of
those who remain on the outside is due
not half so much to choice upon their
part as to the forbidding atmosphere
which they are sure to encounter if they
venture to enter; and the situation can
be improved only by making people
heartily welcome on religious grounds
alone, instead Of dealing with them
strictly according to social rules and con.
siderations.

Legalize the Primaries.

The State Legislature will have its
hands full this season undoubtedly, but
it will find time 10 consider the PROPOSE
tion to legalize primary elections, if it
appreciate the danger to the Democratic
party, and, therefore, to good govern.
ment which attends the present system.
The following draft of bill on the
subject is submitted for the consideration
of the Legislature:
a bill to authorize the officers or rep
resentatives of any political party to
qualify their agents or managers of pri.
mary elections, and TO provide for the
punishment of frauds and false returns
in regard to the same.
Be it enacted, by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of South
Carolina, now met and sitting in Gener.
al Assembly, and by authority of the
same:
I. That the officers, agents, or repre-
sentatives of any political party, be, and
the same are hereby authorized and en-
powered to qualify the agents and man
ayers of any primary election ordered to
be held by such political party, by caus-
ing the said agents or managers to be
sworn before an officer, or officers of the
State qualified to administer oaths, to
the fair, true, and faithful conduct of
such election, and that such agents or
manager shall, and will, make true and
faithful returns of such primary elections
so to be held by him.
II. That the agent or manager of any
such primary election, so qualified as
above, is hereby authorized and empow-
cred to administer an oath to any person,
or persons, offering to vote at such elec-
ton that such person is duly qualified to
vote thereat, under, and by the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the political party
ordering such election.
III. That any violation of the oath
so administered, and taken at any such
primary election, and any false count,
statement, or return shall be regarded as
an offence against the law of the State
now in force in regard to the conduct of
election so far as the same may be ap.
plicable to such primary election, and
shall be punishable on conviction as now
provided in the General Statutes for the
punishment for the violation of election
law.
The foregoing bill conforms generally,
we believe, to the provisions of law with
the same object in other States. There
is nothing in it, in principle, that any
honest Democrat or Republican can
object to. 1t simply throws around the
primary elections the safeguards which
are provided for State elections, in order
to ensure fair dealing on the part of the
managers of election and of the voters.
There is not complete confidence in the
primary elections as now conducted, and,
whether the want of confidence is well
founded or not, there should be no delay
in giving the public the assurance that
those who are chosen at primary elections
have been chosen by an honest majority
of an honest vote. Unless this is accom-
plished, there will be serious trouble in
the Democratic camp next year.-NeaOs
nnd G6nrier.
